Felicity
She won't have you,
even in a picure frame,
specially if you booze
eyes scrubbed by fire,
how to keep the flame,
she's holding the wire,
doesn’t do feuds,
says fools bathe in haste,
know how they lose,
anything you desire,
makes it hard to disdain,
when sung in a choir,
what she's been through,
can’t be wished away,
c'mon tell the truth,
her lips won't ask why,
you live with the strain,
forget about the line,
her heart seeks good news,
the oxygen of aerospace,
put on your dancing shoes,
Spring’s here again ?

Not burning with hope,
if he gets in again,
sails that slippery slope,
never stop to choose,
sanctify his blame,
suffer his fear of losing,
is it such a joke,
campaign speeches every day,
as if you didn't know,
you'll never get the truth,
others stand and gape,
see the enemy as you,
wonder if you'll cope,
will always have your say,
but there’a so many dopes,
to bathe in his spew,
shiny adverts jaundiced mail,
even love gets duped,
things you can’t condone,
are blown away by gales,
he'll dance on hot stones,
for those he hates.

It’s around this time,
my mother comes,
always with a different sigh,
asks why no one 'fones,
no matter what they’ve done,
would it cut their throats,
a fertile ring of chimes,
takes account of being glum,
she enjoys family crises,
never arrives alone,
wants to have some fun,
brings some beat or showman,
it’s me who has to shine,
pleading c’mon mum,
nerves before a climb,
it nourishes her bones,
to beat the little drum,
upset is all she knows,
cruel to be kind,
she won't waste a crumb,
a forever moaning child,'
now she's gone ?

You stretch our sunny days,
smile an absent dream,
now you're on your way,
don’t bring us bad news,
like a losing team,
say what we have to do,
we're listening in the rain,
down by the Slate quays,
want to see you again,
there’s a spirit in you,
that’s hard to please,
why play by broken rules,
we’ll work and save,
give whatever you need,
won't hear of your wails,
the lovers mistook,
on your mad schemes,
now you're all cool,
we're melting away,
a burned out empty feeling,
you sip tea and cakes,
is this how it seems ?

You don’t need to cry,
within a screaming gale,
let others wonder why,
consult with holy stones,
listen to their tales,
when you grasp alone,
study these battered times,
all of its a trial,
ride again the bycycle,
forget having to atone,
if lovers wail,
you're far from home,
sail kites to the sky,
think of road and rail,
leave to all on high,
take tea like Mrs Jones,
discard desolate mail,
throw yourself a bone,
doesn't hurt to try,
laugh on lonely trails,
always be a butterfly,
dancing never fails.

Anna
Her manner never cool,
many a life she’d shout,
has been unlistened to,
crashing like the sea,
an artist on the lookout,
she’s still pretty green,
doesn’t need a muse,
creates what's all about,
won't suffer fools,
she walks down the street,
give you anything she has,
throws anyone her keys,
lipstick lemon blue,
her skin golden brown,
hasn't been to art school,
instead a loving need,
those who haven't got,
brings a sense of ease,
provides our daily laughs,
smiles as warm as toast,
will always want to ask,
how is your soul?

Rain broken afternoon,
offers no insight,
or makes me look cool,
here in this game,
a race for my life,
wonder who holds the reins,
I act like a fool,
peparing what's right,
must stop what am doing,
now the eyes feel pain,
my head's like a firefly,
how did it get this way,
it all seems so futile,
I'm wasting my time,
my face a lost duel,
then someone brings wine,
says let's party again,
make for the beeline,
won't ask for new shoes,
jump in the fire,
dance like a mule,
scream until bedtime.
